Almost like summer

Less than a week to go until Ruth returns and we can hit the road again. When she gets back, we're heading to Cape Breton Island to explore the Cabot Trail. We were there in the summer of 2008 and it's a beautiful part of the world so we're looking forward to going back there for a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, I'm trying to keep busy. I went for a hike on the trail across the road, and I knew it was going to be wet and muddy so I left Whiskey behind. It leads to an old water reservoir, but I never made it that far because the trail needs to dry up for a couple of weeks yet.

This trail actually shows up as a ROAD on our GPS unit!

The trail is a little damp!

I went over to Lindsey's yesterday afternoon. It was a really nice day, probably the best we've had since arriving here two months ago. Problem up here where we're parked is the black flies. I can't sit outside or do any exterior work to Sherman because they just swarm you. So even on a beautiful day I'm stuck inside the motorhome unless I'm out for a walk.

Had supper there, and then went to an art gallery opening reception in Wolfville. (Yes Mom, I really did.) The girl who's property we're parked on is an artist and she's doing a show at a local gallery so we went over there to show our support. I'm not an artsy-fartsy kind of guy. I mean, I can look at a picture and say "hey, that's real nice", but to stand there and try and analyze it like some people at this show were doing is kind of beyond me. Still, it was interesting and I can certainly appreciate how much effort goes into some of the work.

As I was driving back up the mountain, I stopped for some pics of the valley below...

On another note, Google seems to be having some more problems with blogger. Seems some people can't register to be a follower in order to enter our contest. Some of you will notice just a blank space where our "Followers" app is supposed to be on the right hand side of this page. Nothing we can do about it, so you'll just have to check back here regularly to see if it's fixed.

Our 5 hour overnight flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles went without a hitch. It's funny how, after doing a 17 hour flight from San Fra...
